Daniil Medvedev is determined to end the year on a high note as he leads his nation to potential Davis Cup Finals glory.
Medvedev has never hidden his pride in playing for Russian and often times spoke about his desire to win for his country. He tried his best at the Olympics but failed to do so and redemption may be coming in the Davis Cup Finals. Russia is in the semifinals and they will play against Germany for the finals. In order to get there, they needed to win two matches in Madrid and Medvedev was happy they were able to do so.
He admitted that playing here feels like home:
"Madrid feels like home, we are winning a lot of matches, we beat Spain the other day. It was a great boost of confidence to beat the home favorites.”
The confidence was clearly evident in the match against a very tricky Swedish team that did not back down. Both Rublev and Medvedev faced stiff competition but both were able to overcome it to give Russian the 2-0 victory. The Russian played a very solid match against Ymer but found himself broken a couple of times which is uncharacteristic of him and he admitted as much.
Asked what he would like to have changed about the match he simply said:
“I should have served better but I am really happy to bring the point to the team."
As long as he keeps winning he will bring points to Russian and keep their hopes of winning the competition alive. The nation is going for a clean sweep in both team competitions as they won the Billie Jean King Cup Finals as well.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
